The Kentucky governor's race is shaping up as a nail-biter. With roughly three-quarters of the vote tallied, Democrat Andy Beshear holds a narrow lead over Matt Bevin, the Republican incumbent

, including abortion and gun rights. And, eager to win back some of Trump’s supporters, he’s defending the president during the recent impeachment inquiry and framed his election as a chance to send a message to Washington.

Beshear, on the other hand, is running the red-state Democrat’s playbook, focusing on public education, access to health care and other local issues. For most of this century, Democrats — including Beshear’s father, former Gov. Steve Beshear — were able to outrun Kentucky’s rightward shift at the presidential level, buoyed by an ancestral advantage in voter registration.

Republican Daniel Cameron, a former McConnell staffer seeking the attorney general post, had a significant lead in early ballots and was easily outrunning Bevin at the top of the ticket.

Do any of you even live in KY? Please note Bevin had low approval ratings for many reasons. It seems logical that he lost this race. I don’t believe you should be expecting a “blue wave” anywhere else anytime soon. VA is a lost cause, too many liberal wackos have moved in.

How did that work out?

Hopefully trumps touch will turn matt bevin into shit
